These sentiments were the cause of un-
bounded enthusiasm, of the prolonged rebel
yell of rye olden time" But when the chief
rebel in whose honor the demonstration was
made kissed one of the many rebel flags that
were profusely displayed, when the act was
repeated by his daughter and when Mrs.
DAVIS tore off shred of the same and placed
it in her bosom, the crowd fairly went wild
with Joy. All of which goes to show that the
war ended too soon that the rebels were not
more than half whipped and that the great
mistake made by our government at the
close of the contest was in pardoning the
leaders of the rebellion instead of hanging
them for their treason, fate they so richly
deserved and which they escaped only
through the generosity Of their conquerers
II would have been one of the best things
that ever happened to the country if JEfy
DAVIS and some dozens of other prominent
traitors had been hung on the traditional
''sour apple tree"

Our county clerk in pursuance of the pro
visions of the local option law and in com
pliance with the petition of nearly $500
voters of the county, has issued his call for a
special election to be held on Thursday, the
lst day OF December, 1887 for the purpose
of determining whether or not the traffic in
Intoxicating beverages shall become illegal
from and after the first Monday in May next.
The immense ma ority given by the electors of
Van Buren, county last spring-the largest
of any county in the state-settled the ques-
ton beyond all manner of doubt that our
people are in favor of legal prohibition. But
il will not do to remain idle and inactive,
relying upon that majority to carry county
prohibition without an effort. The present
contest is necessarily short, but it should be
vigorous and then it will be decisive. Every
newspaper IN the county should aid the
work, and every friend of legal prohibition
should be active until the close of the polls
on election day and victory will be assured

The base ball season has closed and Mich
igan is covered with honor and glory. To
begin with. the KalamaZoos easily captured
the championship of the Ohio state league
and were followed, shortly ,afterward, by the
Detroit sluggers, who bore the national
league pennant in triumph from the Windy
City. where it had SO long hoated in the
noxious fumes that rise from the Chicago
river, and flung il to the sweet and gentle
breezes of the City of the Straits from the
top of the Hottest, straightest pennant- pole
that could be obtained from among the tall
pines of Northern Michigan. And then
came the great struggle for the worlds
championship, a series of fifteen games with
the st. Louis sprinters, President Vos DER
Ans Z" world peaters" and association cham
pions. The result of this series was ten VIC
tories to five defeats for the sluggers," who
thus won the proud title of Champions OF
the World" and established reputation for
the great and good Deacon White as a
prophet as well as ball player, that being bis
prediction as 10 the outcome of the contest
at It's very beginning. Another fact is also
well established by this result, and that is
that the league clubs can play better bail
than the association clubs. St. Louis easily
won the championship of the latter organic
alton having a perfect walk away while
Detroit had to struggle hard to come out
ahead of some of the other league clubs. and
yet she has yanquished VoS DER AIRS or
ganization by score of two to one. Mich
igan base ball cranks are happy and they
have good reason to be.

JEFF DAVIS was at Macon the other day at
flag must be displayed on that occasion. 1t
wouldn't have been showing proper respect
for the old traitor to omit that part of the
programme, especially since it was displayed
on the occasion of Mr.. CLHvELAND's recent
visit to the same state. Apostrophizing the
rebel rag, he said among other things; al
love it for its own sake / love it for your
sake" OF course the crowd was immensely
pleased with the sentiment, and yet we are
told that there is no sectionalism III the
South; that it is all confined 10 that section of
our country whose wicked soldiers so ruth
lessly invaded the sunny Southland and tore
down that emblem of treason and rebellion
that old JEFF and his admirers love so ardent
ly. Gov. GORDON made a speech on the
same occasion and feelingly alluded to Mr..
DAVIS as one who could "look back upon g
career without blot or stain, life that has
been spent in the service of his country and
his country's liberty" and made many other
eulogistic references to the man without a
country, all of which we're enthusiastically
received. History affords very few instances
OF men who have been privileged TO look
back on careers like that of JET DAVIS, very
few indeed. The two most prominent histor-
ical characters whose records bear anything
like parallel to his have been handed down
TO the present generation under the names
OF JUDAS IsCARIoT and BENEDICT ARNOLD.

A SEASONABLE RECIPE FOR
DEVILED CRAB.
Leisure Hour.

For one dozen deviled crabs take
about eighteen hard shell crabs,
throw them into boiling water, into
which about two tablespoonfuls of
vinegar have been poured, boil swift
" for about fifteen minutes. When
the crabs are cool pick them care
fully, removing every bit of the shell,
etc: then add to the meat heaped
cup of dried bread crumbs, Q tea
spoonful of yellow mustard, two Ia
blespoonfuls of rich cream, piece of
butter size of an egg, and salt and
pepper to taste. Wash the crab
shells carefully and replace the mix
trre lightly; do not press it. Make
a light batter of the yolks Of two
eggs, a little flour and seasoning; dip
in each crab, then sprinkle olente-
ouslv with fresh cracker dust; have
ready a deep pan filled with boiling
lard: drop in the crabs and fry them
to rich yellow brown; eat hot.

siasm has subsidized, and the same
old party leaders are allowed to
make Up the tickets, both of which
contain the names of men who can
be depended upon to vote as their
masters direct.
1t may be asked, how are we to
bring about change and get better
nominations? / answer, by adopt
ing the suggestions contained in
resolution passed by the farmers
club of Cecil, which was substanti-
ally this: "That, if neither of the
existing parties nominate good
ticket, the citizens of the county, ir-
respective of party, assemble in con-
vention and place before the people
the names of men who are deserving
of support" 1t is the height of
folly to continue longer in the pres
ent course.
There is not business firm IN
the State that would retain in its
service incompetent persons simply
because of political considerations.
The stockholders of railroads and
banks would laugh at the sugges'
tion Of entrusting the management
of their affairs to men whose only
recommendation was that they were
identified with u certain party, and
why should the taxpayers and stock
holders of the State of Maryland act
with less wisdom?
We are as much interested in
the selection of our representatives
as they are, but we don't want the
same class of men. The subject of
taxation will occupy good deal of
the attention of our next legislature,
and it is well known that there is
wide difference between the views of
farmers and capitalists in regard to
it. We want our taxes reduced by
making them pay their fair share,
whilst they of course will endeavor
to have things remain as at present.
Hence it is important that we send
representatives to the legislature
who have settled convictions upon
this subject, and who have firmness
enough to resist all temptations to
abandon them.
We want men who have intelli
gence enough to comprehend what
is needed, and who are not under the
control of bosses, and who have hon
csty enough to resist all efforts at
bribery. L. S.

USE OF PAPER IN BUILDING.
1t Can Be Nodded, Stamped, Cut, Nailed
and Easily Handled.

Following are extracts from pa.
pers read at recent meetings Of the
Illinois State Association of Archi-
tects on the present and prospective
uses of paper as material for build
ing, finishing and decorating purpo,
ses:
When the model cheap house
shall be finally evolved it is proba
bic that paper will enter largely into
its construction. We already use
the material for outside weathering
and for insulation within. 1t has
become standard wall decoration in
the house. 1t often keeps out the
cold of winter and the heat of sum-
mer In floors it cuts off the pass
age of sound, and no material better
serves for ice-room walls.
If the fastest passenger trains
thunder across the continent on pa
per wheels, exposed to storms, winds
and changes of temperature, why
may not the same material easily
lend itself to use in the construction
of our houses? While already used
for siding, it seems not to have been
thought of for shingles, foorings,
architraves and many kinds of con-
structive ornaments. 1t will stand
the climate under even the severest
tests, and will scarcely need paint
ing more than pine, and it can be
decorated to the designers fancy. 1t
can be nodded, stamped, cut, nailed,
and handled more easily than any
material we now have.
As in exterior use, SO within; each
part may be paper; and sometimes
the wall and ceiling, plain or orna-
mental, in relief, the bases, the ar
chitraves, the mantels, even the
doors themselves, will be made of
paper. Recent accounts have been
received of the French use of paper
as complete doors and complete pi-
ano cases. The material for this
purpose is very highly spoken of.
Remember that paper, like wood,
may be treated with paints for orna-
ment or preservation.
Economically considered. the free
use of paper for lining walls and the
double thickness of glass in windows
will in very short time pay large
dividends in the saving of fuel. One
architect claims for an eightinch
wall, properly lined with paper, Il
greater resistance to the cold of
winter and the heat of summer than
is obtained from wall built sixteen
inches in the old method.
Another speaker, in prophesying
the future Development of such 4
material as paper, remarks that we
class a great variety of substances
under the general name of paper, hut
his main idea is flexible sheet made
of vegetable or other fibre, which
has been reduced to pulp and then
spread out and pressed and dried.
Its most obvious qualities are:
l. Continuity of surface. 1t can
be made in rolls of almost any width
and length. 1t is flexible, or by glu-
